Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden's son has applied for a visa
to the United Kingdom where he intends to live with his British
wife, the Daily Mail reported.
Omar Bin Laden, 26, and his wife Jane Felix-Browne, 52, say
they have been interviewed at the British Embassy in Cairo.
The embassy has declined to comment on the issue.
The British woman, who changed her name to Zaina Al Sabah Bin
Laden after her marriage to Omar, has been married six times
and has three sons and five grandchildren, according to the
tabloid.
If the couple's application is accepted, they will move to
Jane's $1.1 million home in Cheshire, near Manchester.

The Daily mail quoted her as saying: "The embassy staff
are all very friendly and they are doing all the checks. It
could take a while for the visa to come through but there's
no reason in law why Omar and I should not be able to live in
the U.K. together."
The son of the world's most wanted terrorist has divorced his
first wife, the mother of his two-year-old son, and is currently
waiting for confirmation of the divorce to come through from
Saudi Arabia, so that he can prove the British woman is his
only spouse.
"We have been told there will not be a problem as long
as we can provide the original documents from his divorce from
his first wife. And that should be done in a week," Mrs
Bin Laden said.
A British marriage visa would allow Omar to live in the country
for two years, after which he would be able to apply for Indefinite
Leave to Remain.
The couple say they are "peace activists", and are
organizing a horse ride from Cairo to Morocco.
Omar Bin Laden told the Mail on Sunday: "Associates of
my father forced the cancellation of the Dakar Rally [across
north-west Africa], but they won't stop me from riding. We want
people to join us on the trek - Jews, Arabs, Christians, Muslims,
it doesn't matter where people are from."
